8 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

You can insert the double-sided keys into the locks with

either side up.

The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key

code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can

be used to order duplicate keys only from an authorized

dealer. Ask your dealer for these numbers and keep them

in a safe place.

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always

remove the key from the ignition and lock all the

doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

Keys

Included with your vehicle are two remote controls with

folding keys. The remote control operates all locks on the

vehicle, including the locking fuel filler door.

To release the key from the folded position, press the

button. The key unfolds from the fob.

The transmitter for the remote control is located in the

key fob.

Obtaining Replacement Keys

Your vehicle is equipped with a theft deterrent locking

system requiring a special key manufacturing process.

For security reasons, replacement keys can only be ob-

tained from your authorized dealer.

Important!

Removing the key from the steering lock activates the

start lock-out. The engine cannot be started.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 9

Turning the key in the steering lock to the ON/RUN

position deactivates the start lock-out.

NOTE:

In case the engine cannot be started, and START

and ERROR are shown in the odometer display field, the

system is not operational. Contact an authorized dealer.

Ignition Key Removal

Turn the key to the LOCK position and remove the key.

NOTE:

For vehicles with automatic transmissions, if

you try to remove the key before you place the shift lever

in PARK, the key may become trapped temporarily in the

key cylinder. If this occurs, turn the key clockwise

slightly, then remove the key as described.

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition

sounds a signal to remind you to remove the key.

GLOVE COMPARTMENT LOCK

The glove compartment can be locked by turning the key

straight up to the vertical or right position, and then

removing the key.
